View MoreThere’s a HUMONGOUS difference in one “having sin covered” and “sin taken away” as John 1:29 states. What 1 John 1:9 means is to agree with The Lord about the fact that you’re a sinner in need of a savior and then ask forgiveness (see 1 John 1:8-10 for more information). Scripture in context is ALWAYS emphasized. A person ultimately only affects him or herself. To constantly “ask for forgiveness” after the fact of 1 John 1:9 is mentioned a grand total of never in the New Testament. Constantly asking The Lord to forgive you is Old Testament forgiveness. B.C. Era, in other words. “Mosaic Law”, in still other words. “Torah” in still another word. This is the A.D. Era now. Born again (or “born from above” – or “born the new way” – John 3:1-21)? If so, you are NOT a “saved yet filthy scum of a sinner”, you are a Christian who occasionally sins. There’s a difference (John 5:24, John 10:28, Colossians 2:13-14, Hebrews 10:14, etc.). In John 19:30, Jesus said, “It is finished,” for a reason. There will never again be another Calvary. It was effective the first time. If you are born again, spiritually you are as perfect as you are ever going to be. John 1:29 (HCSB) The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!(”) John 5:24 HCSB) “I assure you: Anyone who hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life.(”) John 10:28 (HCSB) I give them eternal life, and they will never perish—ever! No one will snatch them out of My hand. John 19:30 (HCSB) When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” Then bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. Colossians 2:13-14 (HCSB) And when you were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive with Him and forgave us all our trespasses. 14 He erased the certificate of debt, with its obligations, that was against us and opposed to us, and has taken it out of the way by nailing it to the cross. Hebrews 10:14 (HCSB) For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are sanctified. https://www.biblegateway.com/ In John 20:28, “Everlasting Life” is different than “Eternal Life”. “Everlasting Life” is from this point forward. “Eternal Life” is from this point forward as well as from this point back. “NEVER” means “NEVER”. “NO ONE” must include the individual for if not, John 10:28 would need to say, “NO ONE EXCEPT...”
